Physics 415 - Quantum Mechanics is a fourth year course for physics students at Simon Fraser University. This page contains links to scanned lecture notes prepared in 1989 by Dave Boal. The lectures are brief: mainly equations and diagrams without much text. The lectures are stored as PDF files and can be read by Adobe Acrobat Reader (click to download a free copy from Adobe). The notes have been scanned at 200 dpi, likely a higher resolution than your screen, but they will print well. Canadian spelling conventions are used.
